Cash-Out Refinance Calculator

See your new payment and the cash you could take out.

A cash-out refinance replaces your mortgage with a larger one and hands you the difference in cash. It can make sense when you need a lump sum and your current rate isn't far below today's — but if you hold a low rate, compare it carefully against a HELOC first. This calculator models the new payment and available cash.

  • See how much cash you could pull from your equity
  • Estimate your new monthly payment on the larger balance
  • Weigh it against keeping your current rate with a HELOC
